Although I use sway, I used KDE for a long time and XFCE prior. They're both phenomenal. I'd love to see XFCE make its way to wayland in the future.

As an aside, I feel like Wayland has a market ripe for the introduction of lightweight DEs. Sure, it has the very lightweight (hyprland, sway, river, dwl) and heavyweight (KDE, Gnome) but nothing between like XFCE, LXDE or MATE

I love everything I see here. Wallpaper, blur, the bg. How do you like zsh? Been on fish now for a year or so and have been curious of zsh

Thinkpad e14 w/ ryzen 5500u

Not the perfect solution, my main PC is in storage currently. The thinkpad does everything I need it to. I can play age of empires 2 and 4, company of heroes 2, doom wads and WoW private servers. In fact, its managed to have good performance in every game ive tried save for Elden Ring and some AAA games.

gentoo!

i love the versatility it offers, but it's very much so DIY. it has great documentation. anyone who considers themselves a "linux enthusiast" should try an install in a VM at some point or another, if nothing else it's a great learning experience.

for gaming in particular: flatpak steam / lutris / bottles. it's great because it's completely distro agnostic. i can take the $USER/.var directory and put it on any distro with flatpak installed and it'll just work.
